Energy 101

What would you say if we told you that you can DRIVE ON the future of solar? Because that’s precisely the idea behind replacing asphalt roads, parking lots, and driveways with solar panels.

It is no question that solar is the future of energy, and the younger generations of today will be our industry leaders in the coming decades. And more and more programs are popping up across the country to get youth more involved in solar.
